How crafty are my kids!

It was birthday at the end of July and I have been meaning to show you all the Gorgeous Cards that my older two made for me. They sure are creating some gorgeous cards!

This first card is by my oldest. He is 11 and has only just started to use my Copics, but he is picking it up so quickly. I was so impressed when he gave it to me.

This second card was done by my oldest daughter, who is 10. She has been using my Copics for a while and she is actually really good now. I mean look at that hair, pretty cool huh! 

Do you think they both know that my favourite color is Pink... hehe! Pretty obvious hey! Anyway just wanted to show off how very talented these guys are!

Plus I was a very lucky girl and got an iphone for my birthday. I HAVE been nagging my hubby for one for about the last few months and I was very excited when I got one for my birthday. I have to say that I LOVE it. It is so much fun and I am totally addicted to Words with Friends, love it...hehe!

If anyone has any awesome apps they have and would like to share I would love to know what ones are your faves!

Not much happening!

I'm sorry that I haven't been around lately, but I have had a lot going on in the last few weeks and to be honest I just haven't felt like creating.  So I haven't made a card for a good couple of weeks and although it is strange to not pick up my copics for that long, it has actually felt nice. Although I have been having a lot of fun playing with this whole Art Journalling thing, learning some new things and just having some fun getting messy! I will show you what I've been up to later.

Anyway it was my girls birthday in July and I know I showed you one of their cards, but I didn't show you the other one, so here it is!

Copic Colors Used:

Hair - E55, E53, E51

Dress and Shoes - RV29, RV25, RV23, RV00

Socks - BG72, BG70

Ground - W5, W3, W1, 0

Sky - C1, C00, B000, B0000, 0
